Color as Creation: Exploration in Natural Dyeing

​In this workshop, artist Ocean Escalanti provides an introductory presentation into the world of Natural Dyeing. There will be a short presentation on urban foraging ethics, local plants to look out for in the San Francisco Bay Area, and food scraps to save for the purpose of achieving natural color. Participants will view some natural dyed examples and take home a do-it-yourself natural dye zine while gaining insight into sustainable practices and indigenous knowledge.
